“Here’s another one,” Goldstein grunted, slapping the paper onto the desk.

Levy rolled his eyes. “Chapter 13?”

“Worse. Court ordered Chapter 7. We won’t get bubkis out of this one.”

“We need to pick up the pace, Goldstein. We’re already two months behind on the quota.”

“Umm. Wouldn’t we be more successful if we changed the contract a bit?”

“What did you have in mind?”

“I don’t mean to kvetch, but why don’t we start charging monetary interest on our loans instead?”

“Don’t be such a meshugeneh! ‘A Pound of Flesh’ is our motto here at Abrams, Abraham and Shylock.”
